FWIW, the initiative (as obvious from the subject line) is following the
DEP process. A consequence of that is that it will be (hopefully) clear
when the proposal is finalized, i.e., when it reaches the ACCEPTED
state. The state can be monitored both in the DEP text itself and at
http://dep.debian.net/ .

As Raphael said, the current CANDIDATE version is relatively stable, but
you might want to wait for ACCEPTED before starting "traducing" your
current metadata.

In case you intend to fully adhere to DEP3, it would be nice to state it
more clearly in the wiki page, so that we avoid duplicated (and possibly
incoherent documentation). I'm confident that, if you have purely
wording / presentation improvements that justify having different doc,
Raphael (as the current DEP driver) will be willing to integrate that in
the main text.

Cheers.
